Turn Your Outdated Site Into a
Canadian Lead Gen Machine
in 4-8 Weeks
Here's a fear we hear all the time: "What happens to my Google rankings?" Honestly, with most agencies, they'd tank. We take a different approach, we handle complete SEO migration, set up proper 301 redirects for every single URL, and our clients typically see their conversion rates double thanks to mobile-first UX. You'll watch the whole thing happen on a staging server before anything goes live.
Data-Driven
Website Redesign Results
We don't redesign based on hunches. Every decision we make is backed by real data, your analytics, your competitors' weaknesses, and your customers' actual behavior.
Speed Authority
Your old site probably scores a 40 on Google's speed test. We strip out the bloat, rewrite the code, and get you into that green 95+ zone on Core Web Vitals , where Google actually rewards you.
Conversion Uplift
When your site actually guides people toward a clear action, fill out a form, make a call, book a consultation, they do it. Clean UX and obvious calls-to-action have doubled lead generation for our clients, consistently.
Traffic Loss
This is the part that scares people most, and the part we've perfected. We map every URL, every backlink, every keyword before touching a thing. Your rankings don't just survive the redesign; they get stronger.

Is your website
Bleeding Money?
Be honest with yourself for a second. When you visit a competitor's modern, fast website and then look at yours... how does that feel? Every extra second your site takes to load, you're losing real customers to the business down the street that invested in a proper rebuild.
-
Outdated Design
Your website hasn't been updated since the first Trudeau term. And trust us, visitors notice. They're making snap judgments about your business in under 3 seconds.
-
Slow Performance
Research shows that every extra second of load time costs roughly 7% of your conversions. If your site takes 4+ seconds (and most old sites do), do the math on what that's costing you every month.
-
Mobile Disaster
Here's a stat that should worry you: 53% of mobile visitors abandon a site that takes more than 3 seconds to load. Pull up your website on your phone right now and time it. We'll wait.
-
No Clear Path
Someone lands on your homepage. They look around for 5 seconds, can't figure out what to do next, and hit the back button. That's not a traffic problem, it's a design problem. And it happens dozens of times a day.
SEO Migration & Ranking Protection
This is the part most agencies get dangerously wrong. We run a forensic SEO migration, mapping every single URL, preserving your backlink authority, and actually growing your organic traffic after launch. Not a single ranking left behind.
Guaranteed No Traffic Drop

Your Website is Probably Breaking the Law
Here's something uncomfortable — the vast majority of Canadian business websites aren't legally compliant. Not because anyone's trying to break rules, but because most web agencies simply don't know them. We build every site compliant from day one.
Privacy & Data
If your website collects any personal data from visitors in Quebec — even just an email address — you're subject to Law 25. It's the toughest privacy legislation in North America, and most businesses don't even realize they're violating it.
Penalties reach up to $10M or 2% of worldwide revenue — whichever stings more.
We bake in proper "Opt-In" consent flows, cookie management, and data residency protocols before your site ever goes live.
Accessibility
This one catches a lot of people off guard. In Ontario, if your business has 50+ employees, your website legally needs to meet WCAG 2.0 Level AA standards. And that's just Ontario — federal rules under the ACA apply nationwide.
Human Rights Tribunal complaints, mandatory remediation orders, and real reputational harm you can't undo.
Every site we ship uses semantic HTML5, proper ARIA labelling, and full keyboard navigation — not as an afterthought, but from the first line of code.
Anti-Spam
Got a newsletter signup on your site? A contact form that triggers auto-replies? Canada's CASL law is one of the strictest anti-spam frameworks in the world — and a single pre-checked box can land you in serious trouble.
Penalties up to $10M per violation for businesses. And yes, they do enforce it — the CRTC has handed down multi-million dollar fines.
We configure double opt-in workflows, visible unsubscribe buttons, and compliant form logic — all wired in before launch day.
Most web agencies won't even mention compliance because they don't understand it themselves. We handle PIPEDA, Law 25, AODA, ACA, CASL, and the Competition Act — so you never have to think about it.
